Bangkok Airways is investing THB2.3 billion ($69 million) to expand Koh Samui and Trat airports, with plans to increase Koh Samui's gates from seven to eleven and more than double its commercial area by 2027. The airline also aims to add two Airbus A319s by year-end to support growth, anticipating that passenger numbers at Koh Samui will double to 4 million annually, contributing significantly to revenue. Meanwhile, Cochin International Airport in India is set to invest Rs 700 crore in its international terminal expansion, increasing aircraft capacity from 36 to 44 and enhancing retail and lounge facilities. Thailand's aviation sector is experiencing a revival, with a projected 18% increase in revenue for Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services due to rising travel demand and jet fuel consumption. Additionally, Bangkok Airways will increase flight frequencies between Singapore and Koh Samui to a record 31 times weekly starting December 2024, further boosting connectivity. These developments reflect the growing aviation industry in both Thailand and India as they adapt to increasing travel demand.
